HI, My Bechtle family has been real hard and I'm not real sure where all they were in Ohio, other than Huron County. John Bechtle Sr was born in Clark County, OH 27 Aug 1835 his father was Henry Bechtle and we think his mother was Elizabeth Kiblinger. John married Mary Eliza Messenger 9 June 1859 on their marriage Cert it spelled Bechtle Beckell. Also on one census it was spelled Bechtel. but in most instances it is spelled Bechtle at least our branch. I've a copy of his obit as well as a copy of Mary Eliza's obit. They moved to Kansas at some point and that is where they died. But any other info on John's parents are lost to me at least to this point. I sure hope we can make a connect. my email is
